Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Orlando
General contracting in Orlando is rarely a simple swap of finishes. It’s wall cavities hiding corroded galvanized pipe, sandy fill that never got compacted, and stucco that breathes in moisture during every afternoon thunderstorm. The work costs real money, and the quote should reflect what’s actually behind the drywall before the job starts. Mason Remodeling Co Orlando handles this differently: we inspect first, put every price in writing, and bring crew members to your door who are background-checked, uniformed, and introduced by name and photo before they arrive. Call (850) 920-7745 for a free estimate on your Orlando project.
Why Mason Remodeling Co Orlando Is Orlando’s Preferred General Contractor Company
We’re part of the Threshold Group family of home-service companies, and we hold every Orlando job to the Threshold Standard: every technician is identity-verified, shows a photo ID badge at the door, and arrives in a clean marked uniform. You’ll know exactly who is walking into your home before they ever step inside. That matters in Orlando, where many homeowners are alone during the day or have young children at home, and opening the door to a stranger is a real decision, not an afterthought.
Our written pricing model means you see the full project cost before any work begins. No verbal estimates that grow, no surprise invoices at the end. Every completed project carries a 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work is not right within a year of completion, we make it right at no cost to you. Isaac Pruett leads our Orlando team, and he holds every job to that standard. For homeowners in neighborhoods like College Park, Baldwin Park, and Dr. Phillips, that written guarantee changes the entire conversation.
Styles & brands we work with
Construction Company in Orlando
A Construction Company in Orlando has to understand what this city’s building stock actually requires. Most homes in Orlando are post-1980s suburban single-family houses with stucco over wood frame, but central neighborhoods like Colonialtown North and Delaney Park have mid-century concrete block homes that need an entirely different approach. When a homeowner needs a room addition, a load-bearing wall removed, or a structural repair, the job involves permits, engineering, and materials rated for Florida’s wind and moisture conditions.
In Orlando, general construction work focuses on additions, structural modifications, and retrofitting older homes for hurricane resistance. A room addition on a concrete block home requires tying new framing into old block, and that’s a different skill set than framing on a new suburban lot. We pull permits on every job that requires one, and we schedule inspections through the City of Orlando’s building department.
Home Additions and Structural Work
Home additions in Orlando run $45,000 to $130,000 depending on foundation conditions, square footage, and interior finish level. The foundation is where Orlando projects get complicated: many subdivisions west of the city, like Metrowest and areas near Ocoee, sit on former citrus groves with sandy soil that needs engineered fill and special compaction before any vertical construction. Our general contractor work in those areas frequently starts with a soils report, not a hammer.
Foundation and Soil Conditions
Sandy soil doesn’t hold a slab the way clay does. On a room addition in west Orlando, we bring in a geotechnical engineer to test bearing capacity, then compact engineered fill in lifts before pouring. Skipping this step leads to settling, cracked slabs, and doors that stop closing within a few years. Orlando’s climate makes this worse: wet and dry cycles cause soil movement that amplifies any foundation shortcut.
Remodeling Contractor in Orlando
A Remodeling Contractor in Orlando spends as much time dealing with what’s hidden as what’s visible. Kitchen and bathroom remodels in this city mean opening walls in homes that are 20, 40, or 60 years old, and what’s behind those walls determines the real cost. Termite damage in wood framing, corroded plumbing, DIY electrical work from previous owners, and moisture damage from years of Florida humidity all surface once demolition begins.
Kitchen remodels in Orlando run $14,000 to $45,000. Bathroom remodels run $9,000 to $28,000. Those ranges exist because the condition of the underlying structure varies wildly from house to house. We write allowances into the contract for exactly these unknowns, and any surprise we uncover gets priced and approved in writing before we touch it. No renegotiation mid-project, no invoice that looks nothing like the quote.
Kitchen and Bathroom Remodels
A 1990s Orlando kitchen in a place like Hunter’s Creek typically has particleboard cabinets swollen from humidity, vinyl flooring with water damage around the dishwasher, and outlets that aren’t GFCI-protected. A 1950s bathroom in College Park has galvanized pipes that are corroding from the inside, a shower pan that failed years ago, and jalousie windows that leak during every afternoon storm. Both remodels start with the same step: an invasive inspection before the quote is finalized.
Opening Walls and What We Find
In College Park, we opened up a 1950s concrete block home’s bathroom and found original jalousie windows leaking during afternoon thunderstorms, corroded galvanized pipes, and a shower pan that had been letting water into the subfloor for years. Our crew replaced the rotten subfloor, reframed the window opening for an impact-rated unit, and brought the plumbing up to code before closing the walls. That’s the difference between a remodel that lasts two years and one that lasts twenty.
Trusted Brands We Service in Orlando
Orlando homeowners shouldn’t have to sort through off-brand fixtures and hope they hold up. We work with specification-grade material partnerships across cabinetry and surfaces, including KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinets, Cambria and Silestone countertops, and Kohler and Moen fixtures. When you’re choosing finishes for an Orlando kitchen or bath, you’re picking from vetted, professional-grade product lines that are stocked through local supply channels, which means faster turnaround when a replacement part is needed mid-project.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Orlando Homes
- Hidden termite damage in wood framing. Orlando’s warm, humid climate is ideal for subterranean termites, and by the time homeowners see evidence, the damage is often already done. We open walls during inspection, not after the contract is signed.
- Failed moisture barriers in stucco-over-wood construction. Summer thunderstorms dump rain on stucco walls, and any gap in the barrier lets water inside the wall cavity. Mold follows, often within weeks.
- Unpermitted work from previous owner remodels. We regularly find load-bearing walls that were removed without a permit, electrical runs that don’t meet code, and additions that were never inspected. Correcting these before new work starts is the only way to avoid a stop-work order later.
- Original single-pane jalousie windows. In older Orlando neighborhoods near downtown, these windows leak during every afternoon storm and provide almost no impact protection. Every remodel we do in those areas includes an honest conversation about replacement.

The biggest driver of cost in Orlando is not cabinet style or countertop material. It’s what’s inside the walls and under the slab. Soil condition, termite damage, existing plumbing age, and whether the home was built before modern wind codes all move the number. That’s why we inspect before we quote, and why every price is delivered in writing before work starts. Call (850) 920-7745 for an exact quote on your Orlando project. Estimates are free.

FAQs About General Contractor in Orlando
The three most common things we find in pre-1980 Orlando homes are corroded galvanized plumbing, termite damage in original wood framing, and moisture intrusion around jalousie windows or failed stucco barriers. Each one changes the scope and cost of the remodel, which is why we conduct an invasive inspection before finalizing any quote. Call (850) 920-7745 and we’ll schedule an inspection of your Orlando home.
We start with a soils report from a geotechnical engineer, then compact engineered fill in lifts under the new foundation before pouring. Former citrus grove land in areas like Metrowest and near Winter Garden has sandy soil that will settle unevenly under a slab if it isn’t properly prepared. The engineer’s report determines the compaction requirements, and that cost is included in your written estimate before any work begins. If you’re planning an addition, call (850) 920-7745 for a free estimate.
Yes, if you’re moving plumbing, altering electrical circuits, or removing any wall, even a non-load-bearing one, the City of Orlando requires a permit and inspection. If you’re only replacing cabinets, countertops, and fixtures in the same locations, a permit usually isn’t needed. We pull every permit a job requires, schedule inspections, and don’t start work until the permit is in hand. Call (850) 920-7745 to discuss your kitchen layout change.
We address the full moisture envelope: proper flashing at every window, a continuous moisture barrier behind shower walls, waterproofing at the tub or shower pan edge, and impact-rated windows where the original openings are leaking. Orlando’s summer thunderstorm cycle exposes any weak point in a bathroom remodel within weeks, so we build for it from the start. Call (850) 920-7745 to schedule your free bathroom remodel estimate.
Because in Orlando, the condition inside your walls is unknown until the walls are open. An allowance is a placeholder amount for a specific line item, like subfloor repair or pipe replacement, that we can only price accurately after demolition. Any allowance we don’t use comes off the final bill, and any allowance that needs to grow gets priced, documented, and approved in writing before we spend it. You’ll never see a surprise invoice. Call (850) 920-7745 for a free estimate on your Orlando remodel.
If you’re planning a remodel, addition, or structural repair in Orlando, call (850) 920-7745. We’ll schedule a free estimate, inspect what’s actually behind your walls, and give you a written price before any work begins.
